I think this is a great idea.  One of the founding projects at
CampSmalltalk was to build such a Test Suite.  Unfortunately this work
was never completed.  And just as unfortunate, the
http://ansi-st-tests.sourceforge.net/ project only contains SUnit
implementations, no actual ANSI Smalltalk tests.

I'm sure that there are various version of the ANSI Smalltalk Tests
laying around in people's archives (I have a couple different versions
myself), but I don't know where an authoritative "latest version" of
the code resides.  The most recent version I ever saw was on the
(now-defunct) CampSmalltalk Wiki.
